Overview

In this manual the authors present a very effective and low cost method of behavior therapy for the group training of schizophrenic patients, which via many applications in the US and Europe has proven to greatly improve their cognitive and social skills. This therapy program has been carefully designed for in-patient and out-patient application in the rehabilitation context. A wide spectrum of current experiences and empirical evaluation studies of the program are discussed in detail. This approach to therapy is divided into five categories: cognitive differentiation, social perception, verbal communication, social skills, and interpersonal problem solving. The book employs many relevant examples to illustrate its highly practical orientation, and to help clinicians most efficiently and cost-effectively adopt this approach. As a result, this manual constitutes a fundamental and very productive tool for the practitioner's own day-to-day therapeutic work. The book comes with a computer disk enabling clinicians and administrators to perfectly reproduce the forms presented in this book, which are very helpful in implementing the many effective techniques carefully explained here.
